1 Corinthians 16:2-9

New American Standard Bible 1995

² On ^(A)the first day of every week each one of you is to ^[a]put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that ^(B)no collections be made when I come. ³ When I arrive, ^(C)whomever you may approve, I will send them with letters to carry your gift to Jerusalem; ⁴ and if it is fitting for me to go also, they will go with me.

⁵ But I ^(D)will come to you after I go through ^(E)Macedonia, for I ^(F)am going through Macedonia; ⁶ and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you may ^(G)send me on my way wherever I may go. ⁷ For I do not wish to see you now ^(H)just in passing; for I hope to remain with you for some time, ^(I)if the Lord permits. ⁸ But I will remain in ^(J)Ephesus until ^(K)Pentecost; ⁹ for a ^(L)wide door ^[b]for effective service has opened to me, and ^(M)there are many adversaries.
